NearVision
CK is Changing People's Lives
Soon, you could be able to do these things without reading

CK
(conductive keratoplasty) has become the fastest-growing
new refractive procedure since the introduction of LASIK.
A survey of Baby Boomers found that 2/3 of those surveyed
would consider having an elective procedure to reduce their
dependence on reading glasses. A full 42 percent ranked
CK as their number-one choice, citing its non-invasive method
and safety as the primary reasons for their preference.

- Poweleit Eye Center, with offices in Cincinnati
and Northern Kentucky, pioneered the conductive keratoplasty
technology in the Cincinnati area. |

Instead
of using a laser or scalpel, controlled radio waves gently
change the shape of the cornea to improve vision, giving
NearVision CK one of the highest safety profiles among all
refractive eye procedures. More than 20 years of research
into this technique have established the depth and temperature
necessary to achieve refractive change.
How does it work?
Using a probe thinner than a strand of human hair, CK applies
radio waves in a circular pattern on the outer cornea to
shrink small areas of collagen. This shrinkage pattern creates
a constrictive band (like the tightening of a belt), increasing
the overall curvature of the cornea to bring near-vision
back into focus for Baby Boomers. Visit our CK Procedure
page to find out more. |

Radiofrequency
energy is one of todays most advanced surgical technologies.
In addition to its use in CK, RF technology is being used
in prostate cancer therapy, back surgery, even cardiovascular
procedures.
NearVision is typically performed on just one eye, restoring
near vision without compromising the patient's binocular
distance vision. Healing time is rapid with most patients
returning to work the following day. |
